Lynda Bussgang's Stages
By: Thomas J. DeLong and Carin-Isabel Knoop
Abstract
Lynda Bussgang is getting ready for her 25th Harvard College reunion and for the first time she is actually looking forward to it. Unlike some of her classmates she has charted her own course to happiness. This path took her from musical theater, to non-profit work to leading the multi-generational program at one of America's leading elder care operations. For many years she felt like an imposter resting on prestigious degrees but as the case opens she feels that the puzzle pieces of her life are coalescing. The case charts her path and invites its readers to engage in similar honest self-reflection as we all wonder what it really means to be successful.
